Gary McCracken

Gary McCracken is a Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. His research concerns the distribution of animals in space, their behavior and interactions, and resulting impacts on genetic population structure. Currently, these organisms are bats, insects, and fungal and viral pathogens. The projects in his lab involve field studies combined with molecular assays, and ongoing collaboration with The Institute for Ecological Modeling at UTK to better inform data collection and to provide predictive analysis and interpretation.
